Pet care experience
Hey there 🏜️ I have always cared for animals! So much so that I made a career out of it. I studied Wildlife Biology and currently work as a biologist. I have a general familiarity with animal behavior through my work, pet sitting, working with an animal behaviorist, and through having pets (cats, dogs, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pig, livestock) all of my life. I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs, as I have an older fella, and with administering medications. I am an excellent communicator, will provide a detailed written update on your pet's activities and mood on every visit and will share lots of photos, because I would expect the same level of care and attentiveness to my fuzz children if I couldn't be with them myself. I have three fuzz children of my own, Bear (dog, 14), Dakota (cat, 5), and Simba (cat, 4.5). They are my world!
Reviews
April did fantastic job pet sitting for our dog and cat. We felt very comfortable with her and at ease leaving our boys in her care. Her communication was spot on, and we received plenty of timely updates. She gave our pets some extra love and attention which we greatly appreciated. We would not hesitate to have April back again, and we plan on having her pet sit for us in the future.
I am so grateful to April for being such a great sitter for my cat! She has an obvious love of animals and is very sweet and friendly to chat with. I had full trust knowing she’d be great with my Kitty and keeping in contact the whole time. I’ll definitely be booking her for all future pet-sitting needs. Thanks April!
If I could give April 10 stars I would. She has taken care of our nervous Saint Bernard twice now and was patient and kind. She is winning our girl over spending time petting and sitting with her and calming her anxiety. April is new to Rover and doesn't have many reviews yet, but her recommendations are rock solid and she's the real deal. I feel so fortunate to have found her!

Safety, trust & environment
I would love detailed instructions on your pet's routine to include info on any current medications, feeding schedule, walks, their triggers, etc. I'd like to maintain a routine that's as close to their normal routine as possible.
Information April S. would like to know about your pet
I am interested in personally getting to know your pup or kitties or (*insert other animal here*). I love learning each individual pet's personality, but most importantly, their triggers, need for medications, health concerns, if they can have treats, etc!
A typical day
I would love to take your pups out on a walk in the park or neighborhood, play fetch in the yard or just cuddle up on the couch with them if they enjoy snuggles! I'm a cat person through and through, so I'd love nothing more than to hang out with your best friend, brush them and get the catnip out!

Availability
Going away for the weekend? Need a reliable sitter? My schedule is flexible on the weekends, so let's chat! My schedule during the week is very straightforward but a tad more limited time-wise. Im generally not available between 7:30am and 5:30pm. I can fit drop-ins or walks in the am or pm around those times during the week. I'd love to chat more to see how I could help out you and your fur family.
